5. Purification by various sucrose<br />

concentrations<br />

There was a significant difference<br />

between the yield of protoplasts centrifuged in the<br />

four sucrose concentrations tested, but no<br />

significant difference in the viability (Table 2).<br />

Purification with 16 % sucrose solution gave the<br />
